I’m Kirsty, and my passion is to help you set health and wellness goals, to smash them and keep on smashing them!
I’ve not always been in the fitness and wellness field. In fact, as a child I hated exercise! As I grew up, I learned to love it for the balancing effect it had on my overall well-being. I studied Marketing and French at University and then enjoyed 25 years in the marketing field - overseas and in Australia.
To maintain an equilibrium, exercise became my therapy, my regulator, my balancer. Being a creative person, it was always in the gym as opposed to the office environment that I had my best ideas for campaigns I was working on, or solutions for problems I was facing. If I was anxious, yoga calmed me; if I was angry, boxing released my frustration; If I was driven, weights pushed me on! Exercise was my therapy, my ultimate accessory to striving and doing well and feeling confident, healthy and in control.
Even today, you’ll always find me studying something new or learning to play with new gym toys; I appear to have an insatiable appetite for learning and self-improvement.
While working in marketing, I started studying for my personal training qualification and loved it so much that when I completed it I wanted more. Then came yoga (I’d always loved the practice for its flexibility and calming nature), then Mat Pilates, (I love the precision and control offered by this method, the fact that it is ageless and non-discriminatory and incredible for back, core and posture) - and so the journey began!
I decided to pivot my career and launched Recharge Plus where I could focus on helping people get fit, build strength and confidence and feel better about themselves. This wee pivot also allowed me to be more present for my family, something that is important to me..
I wanted to be present as a Mum, not stressed in career mode; I wanted to be there for other people - I wanted to share what exercise could do for them - not just their body and how they look, but how they feel.
Everyone has the right to health: to feel confident, to have good self-esteem, to move freely, free of aches and pains, to sleep better. So, my studio was opened and slowly but surely we began to grow.
All the while, my studying continued: Children’s Yoga, Yin Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga, Barre, Mat Pilates - all levels!, Reformer Pilates, Metafit, prenatal, post-natal, specific training for women through the hormone cycle, you name it I've probably studied it.
Recent developments have seen a transition into the inclusion of wellness therapies; studying as a life coach and as a nutritional coach and investing in red light therapy and a two person infrared sauna. I’ve also just recently completed a Certificate 4 in Training & Assessment and a Certificate 4 in Pilates. The journey into self-improvement, continuous education and active ageing continues!
We’re now 9 years into the journey, we have an awesome tribe and we share a great energy. We are so far beyond the fitness competitions, restriction diets and bikini models. Rather, we are about looking after ourselves from the inside out and making lifestyle changes that are manageable and permanent.
The Recharge Plus approach is about making realistic lifestyle choices and steps towards self-improvement, without taking away the quality of life we all deserve. This approach will become your new way of life.
The very ethos of Recharge Plus was to create a safe place and a judgment free zone where people feel comfortable to show up,, to work out, to stretch or to simply recharge without the fear of the traditional busy gym environment. This is exactly what we have created.
I am truly blessed to be able to wake up every day and do something I am truly passionate about.
Recharge Plus has what your body and soul needs to help you find your + in life.
I look forward to working with you.
